Probability

53%

FTSE 100 at approx. 10,532 on July 21 — a multi-year high. Closing above 11,000 by year-end requires +4.4% from current levels. Drivers: (1) Burnham Labour government with infrastructure spending and EU trade rapprochement; (2) Strong GBP (>1.33 confirmed); (3) FTSE overweight in energy (Shell, BP) and commodities (Rio Tinto, BHP) benefiting from elevated oil; (4) UK CPI declining (<3%) opens potential BoE rate cuts from autumn 2026. Risks: US-Iran escalation, global recession. No Polymarket market identified.
